Rendez-vous in Paris with UK-bound Paco, Maya and Garfield

Jack Russell Terriers Paco and Maya travelled with their owners from Italy on the overnight sleeper train, to meet up with Animalcouriers at Charles de Gaulle airport yesterday morning.

Also waiting for us at the airport was handsome ginger tabby Garfield. Although quite happy to have travelling companions, we made sure he couldn’t see them and they couldn’t see him, to avoid anyone getting overexicted!

We all headed straight from the Paris airport to the French port of Calais where we crossed the Channel — and by early evening Paco and Maya were already at their new UK home in Wimbledon. With both Wimbledon Common and Richmond Park practically on their doorstep, these two lucky hounds have lots of lovely walks to look forward to.

Meanwhile Garfield home boarded with Animalcouriers last night and today will be reunited with his owner at their new home in Oxfordshire.

Two great looking dogs and the cat too! I am amazed the way that Brits move about in Europe. And then they return to the homeland. I think that is wonderful and especially that they do not leave their pets behind.

Oh, flying is very much quicker but we’d always advise travel by road as being the less stressful option if it is possible. We do need a license to transport animals but that is for animal welfare reasons. Paco and Maya’s owners were travelling on to London by Eurostar and you can’t take pets with you on the train (only in your car by Eurotunnel) so we were able to help them out on the last leg of their journey from Italy.

I’ve loved Jack Russell’s since I fell in love with Eddie on the TV comedy ‘Fraser’. Then of course the little Jack Russell in the Oscar Winning ‘The Artist’. I always think they steal the show. Our last cat was also black and his name was Paco too 😀 Happy travels all!

Wonderful photos – I’ve always loved the terriers the most!! 🙂 P.S. Hopefully I have found a way to find your new posts again – just discovered WordPress “reader” today and saw your blog on the feed. I so miss getting the emails!!
